Care and maintenance
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
Unplug the mains cable before clean-
ing. Always take hold of the mains
plug itself, do not pull on the mains
cord.
CAUTION
Dangers for children and people with
limited physical, sensory or mental ca-
pacity!
■
Cleaning and user maintenance must
not be carried out by children unless
they are supervised.
NOTICE
The surfaces and appliance parts can be
damaged through improper handling.
■
Never use harsh, soda, acid, solvent
or abrasive cleaners. These attack the
plastic surfaces. All-purpose cleaners
with a neutral pH are recommended.
■
Use care products only on the outer
surfaces.
■
Door seals and plastic parts are sen-
sitive to oil and grease. Remove con-
taminants as quickly as possible.
■
Only use soft cloths.
Checking and cleaning the
door seals
The door seal must be checked regularly so
that no air can enter the appliance.
1. To test them, clamp a thin piece of paper
in various places. The paper should be
difficult to pull through at all points.
2. If the seal is not uniform everywhere:
Warm the seal in the appropriate places
in front of you with a hair dryer and pull it
out with your fingers.
3. Only clean dirty seals with clean water.
Clean the exterior
– Coated surfaces
Only use light pH-neutral soapy water.
– Stainless steel surfaces
Use special stainless steel cleaner from a
specialist shop. Never use polish.
If, during cooking, oil or seasoning come into
contact with the outside surfaces of the freez-
er, remove them immediately, as they can
damage the plastic parts.
No Frost
The appliance remains frost-free thanks to its
No Frost technology. Defrosting is not nec-
essary.
White frost and ice are automatically thawed,
preventing ice from forming an insulating lay-
er, which inhibits the freezing process and
causes increased energy consumption.
